I won two out of my three games simply because they were conditional victories. My first game I got massacred by high elves in a battle for the pass scenario. Never charge a corpse cart in the front of a high elf spearmen unit. That was probably my biggest mistake. I mainly lost because at the...

Take the staff of damnation. It's great help for ghouls and grave guard alike. :)

I'd consider the reliquary more of a direct damage spell when trying to determine if you get the look out sir rule or not. Obviously you don't get magic resistance but I don't think you'd get a look out sir roll either. It's obvious its not a shooting attack as it does not happen in the...

I think you just swung me back to my original position on the subject. I said what I did because someone made a very compelling argument for it and I couldn't argue against it. Reading it again makes it more clear. Thank you for bringing me back to the fold of sane and educated Warhammer players.

For me a larger game is 2500 points or more. At these point costs I always have at least 1 mortis engine if not 2. You could also get other things to detract attention away from the corpse cart like vargheists or other such nasty units.

I almost always put one or two in a bunker and then I'll have another one on a corpse cart in larger games. It usually works since at that size I've got multiple juicier targets for any shooting or magic.

RAW you don't get re-rolls against an opponent with ASF even if they get ASL. The rules state that if you have ASF and are fighting someone with the same rule then no one gets re-rolls. Your opponent still has ASF even if he has ASL and so no re-rolls for you even though he strikes in initiative...

A horde of crypt horrors. Near impossible to kill if you can keep the fire magic off of them. 2 or 3 mortis engines. That's just fun. Especially when they all explode on turn 6! :vampire3: Fill out an entire list with zombies... Just might work... Or not. :slapface:

You always need a minimum of 3 on the dice rolled in order for a spell to be cast. So yes you have to roll at least 1 die.

Last thing and then I'm done. In older editions the banshee scream could target anyone with her scream with no limitations besides of course line of sight and range. I'd expect a similar outcome in the upcoming faq.

Until the faq comes out this will always be up for debate. Play it how you best see fit until then. That's really the only logical advice I can give you.

Everyone plays the screams differently. Until they faq the rules for the scream it will always be played either one way or the other. I play that they can scream into a combat they aren't part of. Don't debate this point. People try and fail to convince the other side so the point is moot. Just...

The BRB actually defines what a shooting attack is in the beginning of the Shooting Phrase section... Just saying. I'm with Smogg on this. It nearly killed me in a tournament when I was fighting an undead opponent with 2 terrorgheists but I couldn't say that he couldn't do it just because it...

It's too many points anyway. You are only allowed 25% of your points for rares. This means at 2000 points you can't spend more than 500 points. 3 mortis engines are 660 points. I like to run 2 at 3000. 3 is a little excessive and too many points in my opinion. I run my two flanking a horde of...

Flag of bloodkeep plus any magic resistance takes care of the lore of metal problem. If I take Bloodknights there's always a character in there with at the very least the obsidian trinket.

Where does it say that they can't? I just want a reference because I can't find one. It says in the BRB: "Most characters are allowed to join certain types of units over the course of the battle. A character is normally permitted to join units of infantry, beasts, cavalry, monstrous infantry...

Are you supposed to be over 2500 points? If you were aiming for 2750 you still have 100 points left. The only thing I would suggest here is making one of the necros master of the dead so you raise your skeletons beyond starting size. As they are now they won't last long at all in cc.

My mistake. Didn't see the part on pg 52. :slapface: In that case I'll have to make a change. Thanks for clearing that up for me though. That bold paragraph seals the deal. There's no arguing with that.

By your reasoning our skeletal steeds should get +2 strength on the charge because our black knights have lances... Do you see how ridiculous that is? The +1 strength is only for the model wielding the spear. It's not for impact hits or the restless dead. If it was that would be ridiculously...

WS 2, I 2, and LD 3 does it for me. I can't stand skeletons. I've used them very few times and every time they just die. I like ghouls because they benefit tremendously more from spells and buffs. Staff of damnation: ghouls getting 3 attacks a piece is pretty nasty. Okkam's mind razor: Does...
